  I am still having difficulty figuring out where
exactly Wikibooks is
 supposed to mesh with Wikipedia in the grand Wikimedia scheme...to read some
 of the discussions there, it would seem that they don't think any kind of
 "meshing" suitable at all, which seems ridiculous to me... 
And similarly, Wikitravel. There is such a lot of duplication of
effort on city articles. IMHO, a wikitravel article on a city should
basically be a great big {{wikipedia:en:Paris}} followed by "the best
bars are..." and "don't forget to buy a metro ticket". There's
plenty
of information in Wikitravel that ought to be present in Wikipedia as
well, and a vast amount of the opposite situation.
